NEED HELP PICKING WHICH FRONT BAG TO USE? Nobody can help! Please

[jonbearman]

I AM LOOKING FOR A FRONT BAG FOR MY REST WHICH IS A HART WITH A SINCLAIR WINDAGE ADJUSTABLE TOP. IT SEEMS THAT ALOT OF THEM ARE ROUNDED IN THE EDGE STOPPING THE BAG FROM RETAINING SHAPE.ANY THOUGHTS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED. Sorry,caps lock on. My bag is pinched by bars of aluminum that retain the bag.

Did you talk to Edgewood? They should have what you are looking for. Sinclair might have them in stock.

If you want a bag to hold some particular shape, buy a leather bag that is appropriate to your forend size, soak it with water, and use the rifle to mold it to shape. Obviously, if you are using a wood stock, some provision will need to be made to protect the stock from sitting in a wet bag while it dries, and you should move the rifle in the bag from time to time to prevent it from sticking. After it has dried, something like baby powder on the bag will help the stock to slide smoothly.

The edgewood bag holds it shape. Cut a piece of 2x4 the same width as your stock and clamp in the bag while not in use.

To help a bag hold shape do NOT use the heavy sand often used for weight in the rear bag. Use a course type such as playsand. Some shooters also add parakeet gravel to the sand to help a bag hold it's shape.

I recommend the Edgewood and also like the Protektor cordura front bags.
